Key weekly trends in innovation, industry, and the development of AIRR regions. Industrial Workforce Trained Through Practice Tyumen College of Construction Industry and Municipal Services has entered the top three construction colleges in Russia. On its basis, an educational cluster called “Construction Industry” has been created under the “Professionalitet” program, with a focus on blue-collar professions, practical skills, and subsequent employment. In Tomsk, the federal stage of the “Best in Profession” competition brought together robotics specialists from across the country. Contestants had not only to operate a robot but also to read engineering documentation, work with tolerances and fits, program, and independently configure a robotic manipulator. First place went to a specialist from Kemerovo Region, second to a representative from Saint Petersburg, and third to a specialist from Tomsk Region. In Novgorod Region, residents of the Novgorod Special Economic Zone (SEZ) have already invested 4.5 billion rubles and created 612 jobs. More than 2,500 additional jobs are expected to be created soon. At the same time, the region is developing a university campus for 4,000 students, which is intended to integrate educational, scientific, and public projects, Governor Alexander Dronov told Russian President Vladimir Putin. Technological Resilience Russian enterprises are expanding production of import-substituting products while simultaneously building cooperation networks. In Arkhangelsk Region, the Kotlas Chemical Plant is developing its own technologies and production of industrial coatings, which could be in demand by shipbuilding and machine-building enterprises in the Pomorie area. The region’s task is to link existing competencies into a single production chain. In Ulyanovsk Region, six new residents have announced projects worth 6 billion rubles in investment within the port-based SEZ. Today, it ranks among the top five in Russia. Its residents include enterprises in the aircraft industry, pharmaceuticals, automotive, energy, and chemical sectors, Governor Alexey Russkikh said. In Perm Krai, EuroChem continues the modernization of the Usolye Potash Plant, which produces about 3 million tons of potash fertilizers annually. Over ten years of implementing the Special Investment Contract (SPIC), more than 3,000 jobs have been created. One of the new projects is aimed at returning concentrated solutions to the production cycle, which should increase production efficiency and reduce environmental impact. Unmanned Technologies Enter Regular Routes The International Industrial and Energy Forum (TNF) has opened in Tyumen. This year, special attention is being paid to industrial robotics and unmanned systems. In total, more than 70 companies are exhibiting. They are presenting over 100 units of equipment across key industry development areas: oilfield services and downhole technologies, field development and autonomous energy, gas turbine engineering, and petrochemicals, Governor Alexander Moor said. In Arkhangelsk Region, the third unmanned vessel designed for operations in the Arctic was launched. The “Orkan-2” can carry up to 400 kg of cargo and travel up to 600 km. Its first voyage will follow the Arkhangelsk–Pertominsk route: the vessel will deliver fuel, supplies for the national park, and mail. Such trials are important not only as a technological experiment. For hard-to-reach northern territories, unmanned logistics should become a new means of regular connectivity with the regional center.
